“How to elaborate or refine that career path that makes sense to you?

Maria Zarraga helps you ask yourself the right questions, know yourself better and define the best actions to get successful results.

The webinar showed me those ingredients and taught me which tools to use. I was then able to direct my efforts more efficiently to lead my next career step. With this multi-perspective approach, I am confident I can enjoy the transition journey while harvesting optimal returns and ensuring a good work-life balance.

I am definitely recommending ForWaves to boost your career transition!” – Frédéric. C.

“Great program to develop leadership with a heart, to face the challenges of the future.”-A.D.

” (…) I took great pleasure in listening to her, appreciating her methodology, learning her highly effective tools and exchanging with Maria and the participants in a beautiful state of mind. Above all, Maria is a person full of beautiful human qualities, passionate about her mission and who naturally manages to pass on her knowledge and positively transform the thoughts of her participants. I admire Maria for her journey, her courage, her perseverance and her expertise in many fields, including leadership. She also has the gift of quickly understanding each person’s problem and targeting the right solutions, which is impressive.

The venue, La Halte Spirituelle, was also an important element in the workshop’s success. (…) Maria gave us a wonderful surprise <violin concert> on Saturday evening, as touching and talented as ever.

I’m very happy and grateful to have had the opportunity to take part in this workshop thanks to the Tatjana Initiative, and very satisfied with the result. After the workshop, I left with a clearer mind, great energy and positive thoughts to carry out my mission.

Her approach is unique, and I highly recommend Maria’s training courses to any individual or organization wishing to make rapid progress towards constructive, fulfilling change.”-A.C.
